SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 647,247, dated April 10, 1900.

Application filed September 23, 1399. Serial No. 731,415. (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that we, FRITZ BARTEL, cashier, residing at Biilowstrasse 81, and ARTHUR WOSERAU, architect, residing at Potsdamerstrasse 7 3, Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia and Empire of Germany, subjects of the King of Prussia, Emperor of Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in and Connected with Oollar-Studs,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention has reference to collar-studs the object of which is to keepthe coat-collar in a certain position, and so prevent it from slipping up or down in sitting or bending, so as to show either the stud itself or the necktie, and also to prevent the shirt-collar being soiled quickly by the friction.

The invention is illustrated in the annexed drawings in twice the actual size.

Figures 1 and 2 are respectively a side and an edge view of the stud, showing hinged arms folded together, as when passed through the buttonholes in the shirt-band and shirt-collar. Fig. 3 is a front view showing said arms unfolded or turned back to confine the collar and permit the insertion of the projecting stud in the coat-collar plate, as hereinafter described. Fig. 4 shows theplate to be fastened to the inside of the coat-collar. Fig. 5 is a sectional view showing the stud in position in the shirt-band, shirt-collar, and coatcollar plate.

Referring now to Figs. 1, 2, and 3 of the drawings, there are on the stem or of the collarstud a small compressible button I), made in the well-known manner, and two folding arms a c, the dimensions of which are such that they may be folded against each other over the button 11, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In this position the stud is passed through the bu ttonholes in the neckband of the shirt and the shirtcollar, after which the arms 0 o are unfolded or folded back into the position shown in Fig. 3, by which the collar is confined snugly to the shirt-band, while the compressible button 17 projects in position to be inserted in an aperture in-a plate secured to the inside of the coat-collar. I

In case it is desired that the coatcollar should be at a certain distance from the shirt collar the compressible button I) may be placed on a stem of any desired length.

Referring now to Fig. 4, on the inside of the coat-collar a small plate (Z, of any suit able material, is attached by'means of sewing or in anyother convenient manner. In the plate there are one or more openings 6, into either of which the compressible button I) is inserted. A chain f may at the same time be fastened on plate (1 in any suitabie manner for the purpose of hanging up the coat.

In Fig. 5, w may represent the neckband of the shirt, y the collar-band, and z the coatcollar, to which the eyelet-plate d is secured.

What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. Thestud 0,, having a flat shank and a compressible button-head b, in combination with the plate 01, for attachment to the coatcollar, having apertures e, e, in either of which the button I), may be inserted, as explained.

2. The stud a, having a compressible button-head b, and folding arms 0 c in combination with a plate 01, apertured for the insertion of the projecting button-head as explained.

In witness whereof we subscribe our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
